Robin's Gift

When I served as a curator for ECVA's Visual Preludes 2006 I selected this powerful image entitled "Gift" for the day when the theme was Gracious Spirit.  I did not know the artist; I only knew that the colors and composition had a tremendous sway on my emotions.  The turquoise in all of its energetic strokes made me want to go back and look at it over and over again.  It turned out to be one of my favorite pieces in all of the Preludes. 

At the time I actually thought that the artist who produced this work was a man.  You can imagine my surprise when I learned that C. Robin Janning is a woman - an incredibly talented one - and fellow Saggitarian at that.  Robin has since become a valued friend of mine and ECVA's Director of Communications.  Like her painting that exudes energy, she gives so many of her gifts to the ministry of ECVA, and she graciously allowed me to use her work here.
